If you’ve ever dealt with a slow drain, gurgling pipes, or recurring clogs, you know how frustrating plumbing problems can be. While simple blockages can often be handled with plungers or drain snakes, some clogs are too deep or stubborn for standard methods. That’s where jetting service comes in—a powerful, professional solution that clears pipes thoroughly and restores smooth water flow.
At Heavenly Throne Plumbing, our expert plumbers use advanced jetting technology to clean drains and sewer lines efficiently. But what exactly is jetting, and how does it work? Let’s break it down.
Understanding Jetting Service
Jetting service, often referred to as water jetting or high-pressure drain cleaning, is a method that uses a specialized hose and nozzle to shoot water at extremely high pressure through your plumbing pipes. The pressurized water cuts through grease, debris, mineral buildup, tree roots, and other blockages that restrict flow.
Unlike chemical drain cleaners or mechanical snaking, jetting doesn’t just punch a hole through a clog—it completely cleans the inside walls of your pipes. Think of it as giving your plumbing system a deep cleanse from the inside out.
How Does Jetting Work?
Here’s how a typical jetting service works from start to finish:
-
Inspection and Assessment
Before jetting begins, a licensed plumber inspects your pipes—often using a sewer camera. This helps identify the type, location, and severity of the clog. Jetting is then adjusted to match your pipe size and condition, ensuring it’s both safe and effective. -
Setting Up the Equipment
A high-pressure hose is connected to a water tank and a powerful pump. The plumber then attaches a specially designed nozzle that directs water streams in multiple directions—forward to break blockages and backward to push debris out of the line. -
High-Pressure Cleaning
Once the hose is inserted into your drain or sewer line, the pump sends water through the nozzle at pressures ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI (pounds per square inch). The intense water force scours away buildup and flushes it through the system. -
Debris Removal and Final Inspection
As the jetting continues, loosened debris is flushed out of the line into the main sewer system. The plumber then reinspects the pipes to confirm that everything is clean and functioning properly.
What Types of Problems Does Jetting Fix?
Jetting is one of the most versatile solutions in modern plumbing. It can handle a wide variety of issues, such as:
-
Grease and Fat Buildup: Common in kitchen lines, grease solidifies and traps debris over time. Jetting cuts through and flushes it away.
-
Tree Root Intrusion: For minor root intrusions, jetting can break apart and clear small roots that enter sewer lines.
-
Mineral and Scale Deposits: Hard water leaves behind calcium deposits that narrow pipe openings. Jetting removes these safely.
-
Soap Scum and Hair: Bathroom drains often accumulate these blockages, which jetting can easily clear.
-
Commercial Waste: In restaurants or businesses, jetting is ideal for cleaning lines affected by food particles, oil, and waste.
Benefits of Jetting Service
-
Thorough Cleaning
Jetting doesn’t just clear blockages—it restores the pipe’s full diameter. This prevents future clogs and improves water flow. -
Safe for Pipes
When done by a professional, jetting is safe for most plumbing systems, including PVC, cast iron, and clay pipes. It relies on water pressure, not harsh chemicals. -
Eco-Friendly Solution
Since it uses only water, jetting is environmentally friendly. There are no chemical residues or toxic runoff entering your drainage system. -
Prevents Future Problems
By cleaning pipe walls completely, jetting helps prevent grease, sludge, and debris from sticking again. Regular jetting maintenance can save you from costly plumbing repairs down the line. -
Ideal for Residential and Commercial Properties
Whether it’s a home kitchen line or a restaurant’s grease-filled drain, jetting can handle it all. It’s powerful enough for large commercial systems but precise enough for residential use.
How Often Should You Schedule Jetting?
The frequency of jetting depends on your plumbing usage and the age of your system.
-
Homes: Once every 1–2 years can keep pipes clean and trouble-free.
-
Restaurants and Businesses: Every 3–6 months is often recommended due to heavy grease and waste buildup.
Scheduling regular jetting maintenance with Heavenly Throne Plumbing can help ensure your system runs smoothly year-round.
